All Chapters of Second Chance at Love: From Divorcee to the Billionaire's Bride: Chapter 781 - Chapter 790

During dinner, I was a bit distracted, but little Ian sweetly helped me peel shrimp and served me soup - such a thoughtful boy.Mr. Lloyd didn't say much, but his presence was impossible to ignore. He kept glancing at his son with loving, doting eyes.After dinner, he offered to drive me home."Mr. Lloyd, I drove here actually. Thank you for dinner." I said goodbye to Ian and walked toward my car."Dad, don't be sad. Maybe next time she'll let you drive her home!"Mr. Lloyd: ...I hadn't walked far when I heard Ian's comment. Thankfully, my back was turned - otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to hold back my laughter.My mood lifted a bit as I drove home. Luke was walking his dog near my house. Just as I was about to head inside, I noticed Emily waving at me.I considered pretending not to see her, but she quickly walked to my car and greeted me with a smile.You can't ignore a friendly face - I lowered my window."Just getting off work, Ms. Middleton?""The office close

"That's because Luke knows Mrs. Walker's ruthless tactics. He's trying to protect you, to keep you out of harm's way."Emily was desperately trying to defend Luke."Miss Haber, I appreciate your kindness. If there's anything else I can help with besides Mr. Walker's personal matters, feel free to contact me."My decision to distance myself from Luke wasn't going to change easily."Ms. Middleton, don't you believe I'm on Luke's side?""If he didn't trust you completely, he wouldn't let you into his home."And he wouldn't let her talk to me alone for so long."Luke made a mistake here, but he has so many good qualities! One look at that handsome face of his, and all anger just melts away.""I've seen that face so often, I'm immune to it now."Emily: ...I removed Emily's hand from my arm and walked toward Doggo, who was circling around Goofy.Through Emily's retelling, Luke had completely misunderstood what I'd said earlier."Mr. Walker."I greeted Luke and bent down to pick

Ian was so exhausted that he didn't even stir when I ruffled his hair."Do you like children, Ms. Middleton?""I like all beautiful things and people."Though truthfully, I only liked well-behaved children - I had zero tolerance for troublemakers.Mr. Lloyd fell silent and turned his attention to the script in his hands.One Entertainment didn't have any trending celebrities, and resources were becoming scarcer. Mr. Lloyd was considering a comeback, hence his recent script hunting.He had high standards for both scripts and production teams. From what I'd observed, he hadn't found anything satisfactory yet."Mr. Lloyd could try working on a project with Ian."Mr. Lloyd used to be a top star, and he'd maintained his looks and physique since leaving the industry. He still created buzz whenever he appeared in the news.Retro was trending these days, with many skilled veteran celebrities making successful comebacks.These seasoned actors, refined by time, were like fine tea meant

"Dad, he's a bad guy!" Ian pointed at the man who was already several yards away.The robber was huge - well over 6'2", wearing a denim vest that showed off his muscular arms. Mr. Lloyd probably couldn't take many punches from him, and we didn't know if he was armed. It wasn't worth the risk.I ruffled Ian's hair. "Let's go get something to eat.""Help! Stop the robber!"A woman was running after him, desperately grabbing passersby for help, out of breath.Following the 'better safe than sorry' principle, no one stepped forward to help.She reached us, and seeing we were Asian, her eyes lit up with hope. "Please help me, I have something very important in my bag."Mr. Lloyd looked down at his arm where she was clutching it. "I'm sorry, we're new here and unfamiliar with the area. We can't help."She let go, disappointed, staring dejectedly in the direction the robber had disappeared.Ian said in his sweet voice, "When you're in trouble, find a police officer."The woman was a

Luke came to search for his birth mother himself?As I looked at him, he noticed me too.I greeted him and was about to get a taxi to the set."If you have time, can you show me where you saw her yesterday?""I... okay."Mr. Lloyd and Ian would be fine - finding Luke's mother was more urgent.After weighing the pros and cons, I agreed.Luke hadn't brought an assistant. I waited outside while he took his luggage to his hotel room, then we walked to where I'd seen his mother yesterday.It wasn't far from the hotel, so we went on foot.Without thinking, I kept about three feet between us.Luke: "Do I look like some kind of monster?"With his model-like features that made you want to break rules just looking at him, how could he possibly look like a monster?I shook my head."Then why are you keeping such a distance?""..." So that's what he meant...Though I'd decided to stay just friends, my heart - already full of him - still skipped beats when we were together.He was t
